Trust me, all I hear from any Nissan owners, is it's the best they ever bought. Drive a Ford, then the Nissan, it will feel a lot more solid and the frame won't give. Also, the wind wont go through the truck... the list goes on and on:) Sent from my SM-G930W8 using EO Forums mobile app

Honestly, been working 3 years. Have a Ford transit diesel, spent 10k in repairs. Do NOT buy one. Anything diesel whether MB, Ford or Ram, stay away from. We have about 40.vans in our fleet and anything diesel is running into issues down the road. I just bought a Nissan 2500 high top. 70 % of...

Thanks for your answer Mike

Isn't the width between the tire wells less on the 350 than the 250? I thought you had to use the 250 extended to get 3 palettes? Is the 350 capable of fitting a palette between the wheel wells?

Well, I do have the 2012 Pathfinder v6, very reliable, thirsty, at about 23 mpg highway, which isn't that bad considering it's weight. Very powerful engine and transmission.

Why doesn't Nissan follow suit like Ford and Dodge, and introduce the NV400 to the NA market? It certainly looks like a worthy competitor. I would definitely buy one, give the choice.

Hi Intrepid, thank you for that. I will look them up. I have heard the earthquake has slowed things down as well. When I was talking about net 70k I should clarify that's CDN not US :(( Big difference, that's about ahemm, err 45k US..

Hi Moot: Many thanks for that summary, it is quite useful and some very good point for me to consider.

In Ontario, I just looked it up, it's a straight truck with an air brake, the z part is the air brake. It's defined by weight the D being I believe 4.600 kgs, which is about 12000 lbs, the A is anything no weight limit.

Hi There: Thanks for that, what is involved in getting a straight truck licence? Do you require a DZ licence? Thanks, John

Well, that's why I am putting all this in here, if I am wrong please let me know how and what I am wrong about. I am humble enough to admit I don't know jack squat yet on all of this, and that's why I am here. Ed, thanks for that tip.. I will look at the purchase/lease agreements..

Yes, I see things are not great in the US, the company I am speaking with is pretty reputable up here, as I was referred to them. They are averaging about 45-48 calls per day, they have 37 drivers.

I should clarify that's driving 1700-2000 miles a week..

Thanks folks, I spoke to an expediter company yesterday. Lease to own, they are recommending the 2015 or 16 Ford Transit, they say the MB Sprinter has too many issues with the computer after x amount of miles, and the promaster is you get what you pay for, build quality etc.. They pay $1 a...

Hi There, I was just wondering what Thompson is like now? Would 80k be net or gross? Thanks, John
